Hello,

My gf has a lg kg800 (chocolate) phone and now all of a sudden the alarm is not functioning anymore... the speaker is still working, because the phone rings when she gets a call.

So what I've done so far is do a factory reset for all the settings but that didn't solve the problem...

Now I am not sure what to do next... it looks like a software related problem...

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks in advance!!
[General Questions and Answers] TheWarKeeper:
what do you mean by alarm? if ringtone make sure the phone isnt set on silent mode or something

alarm as in alarmclock... the phone is not set to silent... that's what I tried to tell because the phone itself is still ringing...

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jonathon Grigg:
Just a question for all the developers out there, what would you recommend most for building a stock based rom on, an image built from AOSP or from an OTA update? I am thinking of eventually making some major mods but to start with it is basic stuff, so would it be better to have the full source?

Any benefits/disadvantages for the two types? Other than the lack of gapps in AOSP which is easily fixed.

Just finally an idea for the extent of the changes, think of closer to MIUI in scale of changes compared to CM7 etc. Major ui and system changes, possibly even behaviour of the OS changes.

Thanks for any help! Also if anyone wants to help out with anything, let me know and I will see what can happen.

AOSP will be cleaner. You could use CM7 as a base as well which uses AOSP as a base.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jonathon Grigg:
I'm leaning towards aosp currently actually, that way I have full control over anything if I wanted to modify and change etc.

Just a question with stability, would aosp be less stable than an ota base? I've noticed it sometimes on CM7 although it is expected because of the beta nature and also the extra features.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roebeet:
Very nice detailed post - you certainly did your homework. With that in mind I don't think I have much to add. :(

Yes, I remember one user who would reboot into APX mode all the time. I think there was one other person who would reboot into Fastboot all the time. And I don't think those problems were ever resolved.

Question: What is the model # on your device? I want to make sure it's it's not a 320, as at least one user on this board got a 320 and not a 300 (he got it from SEARS online). A 320 is a 1GB "v2" Malata device and those nvflash files might not work with them.

Here's another suggestion before you give up. Since nvflash seems to be the problem, maybe try another nvflash such as the Adam. The Adam nvflash DOES work on the GTAB. Maybe it will "jump-start" something for you.

Adam nvflash (Windows): http://api.notionink.com/fix/windows/LCD.zip

Adam nvflash (Linux): http://api.notionink.com/fix/linux/LCD.zip

Normally I wouldn't suggest this, but you are ready to return so there's not much to lose. You can always re-flash back to 1105 bekit, before you return it. These files will alter the booloader to that of an Adam, but again you can undo with the GTAB nvflash if needed.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tcrews:
Yep, mine is stuck in APX mode and the only way to "boot" it is to nvflash it.

I've set it up with VEGAn 5.1.1 and another kernel and my wife uses it. It sits on the dock (charging) when she's not using it and is never turned off/rebooted. If it does go off, I just nvflash it to boot (using the --format_partition 2 command) and once it boots the bootloader and formats partition 2 it proceeds to run.

I gave up (and also since my wife is using it I can't test other methods to make it work) and will later probably get myself one of the newer tablets (Samsung or Motorola or Toshiba...who knows) and pass my fully functional Gtablet to my wife.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] P00r:
Good sugestion, but unfortunately the nvflash in the adam recovery rom is the same as the one in the FORMAT images (151K), it seem to be better under windows since it list partition in text, the other when asked for a list of partition output a binary files.

As for the bekit1105 I usually do (when trying other rom or tnt5) NVFLASH FORMAT IMG, THEN NVFLASH the 1105 with the partition #9 replacing the clockwork .8 alway worked for me.

If it was me I would try to re-partition under windows the flash section, I am not sure how to do it with adb but if possible I would do it there.

I also notived the unit seem to be making sure the flash is partitioned in 2 section (2GB/16GB) inside system/etc/inandop.sh maybe that would be a couple of command to run by hand in adb, I know partition of flash can be tricky at time and it may be the reason the unit is falling to apx..

Would be a good idea to extract the partition list to confirm all their size a legit too.. either way don't give up I am quite sure someone will figure out a way of those half bricked unit...
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] P00r:
I really think something is wrong there, the correct partition for the bmp is definitely #6 in my tablet,

however in the other recovery (nvflash_gtablet_46_2010112600.zip) in roebeet's dropbox the #6 and #7 are inverted...

16MB vs 4MB but their .cfg is correct

So if you flashed the bird on 7 it's a surprise for me that it worked...

also I am wondering did you change the size if the partition in the .cfg files prior to flashing ??? or did you simply swapped the files? I noticed a few post where people where changing the recovery partition without adjusting the size in the .cfg file...

I would really like to see the list of your partition...

sound like the geek way to ask a girl for a show :)

read this... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=934023

your boot configuration table may be bad... so maybe another rom like roebeet suggested would help...
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roebeet:
Actually it's bekit's dropbox. :)

Some of the newer gTAB's have partitions 6 and 7 reversed:

[partition]

name=BLO
id=6
type=data
allocation_policy=sequential
filesystem_type=basic
size=4194304
file_system_attribute=0
partition_attribute=0
allocation_attribute=8
percent_reserved=0
filename=part6.img

[partition]

name=MSC
id=7
type=data
allocation_policy=sequential
filesystem_type=yaffs2
size=16777216
file_system_attribute=0
partition_attribute=0
allocation_attribute=0x10
percent_reserved=0
filename=part7.img

My first gTAB (the one I currently own) was setup this way, but one dev unit I got in December had them reversed, and bekit had one that was reversed as well. I actually flashed the 1105 bekit image and it had worked for me, at the time.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] P00r:
I do not think the image can be the cause of this problem (as long as the size in the cfg is correct), however I think something is wrong in the early boot process in his case...

The guy in this toshiba forum are playing quite a lot with their partition with nvflash...

http://tosh-ac100.wetpaint.com/page/Repartition+Internal+Storage

Interestingly, reading my partition 11 on my tab end with an error...

Z:\>nvflash -r --read 11 part-11.img

Nvflash started

[resume mode]

receiving file: part-11.img, expected size: 209715200 bytes

/ 209584128/209715200 bytes receiveddata receive failure NvError 0x120000

command failure: read failed

like if the partition was not the correct size by a few bytes...
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] P00r:
Roebeet...

I was looking at the ADAM recovery and I think it may explain why some tablet are boot looping or bricked...

the file name they use for the .bct files tell us something...

LCD\harmony_a02_12Mhz_H5PS1G83EFR-S6C_333Mhz_1GB_2K8Nand_HY27UF084G2B-TP.bct

They specify their FLASH (HY27UF084G2B) number in their boot config, this is probably due to the fact that they change their IC from time to time (flash are often on high allocation so manufacture often have more than one supplier) and those change seem to be important enough that they use it as their boot config... (bct probably need to match the memory... or even configure memory speed etc)

This mean that flashing with a BCT that is not specific to the type of memory installed may be bad... but there's no proof that viewsonic had unit with different memory, unless it's one of the difference between the 300 and 320 unit you where mentioning..
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roebeet:
Interesting. One thing about the Adam and the VEGA that I always liked is that we have at least on vendor-based nvflash config from them. Even the Viewpad10s has one. But we never got an official one for the gTablet - bekit's version is fantastic and still the defacto standard, but it's not the vendor's.

I keep wondering if the latest holdout on their stock release is because they want to deploy an nvflash version. It's not in the realm of impossibility, given that the Viewpad10s already has one. And it would certainly be a good way to give users a backout in case the update.zip fails (Viewsonic, you reading this?). A vendor-based nvflash config would be a wonderful thing, if they offered it. Well, we can hope....
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] P00r:
michael...

Did you try in nvflash to set the boot partition ?

--setboot N

sets the boot partition to partition N
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] P00r:
I think it would better and safer if people would do a capture of their unit rom instead of using a generic one as a backup.

Would be nice to see one from Viewsonic as well, I hope they hear you!
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roebeet:
Well, it WAS here:

http://ap.viewsonic.com/in/downloads/

But now it seems to have been pulled. Weird. Maybe check back in a day or two. I already looked at their firmware and it's very similar to the Advent Vega 1.0.9 firmware (sister devices).
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] P00r:
I have downloaded the VEGA image restore, they left inside the utility used to create the .BCT files

the help for this utility confirm the bct is linked to the flash chips

as well as to the image (not sure which...)

Usage: buildbct [options] Configfile ImageFilename ChipName

options:

-h, --help, -? Display this message.

-d, --debug Output debugging information.

Configfile File with configuration information

ImageFilename Output image Filename

ChipName Name of the chip, currently valid --ap15

This mean using a generic bct may be risky if viewsonic have more than 1 type of hardware tablet with the same name...
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roebeet:
Makes a lot of sense, to me. I honestly think we've been very lucky so far (most of us). Bekit and I must have the same device as his backup has never failed me. And, as you can imagine, I have flashed my device a LOT.

We don't know the hardware differences - why are some of the newer devices shipped with switched partitions? Why is it that at least one XDA user got a 320, when they paid for a 300? And if those Woot devices really are new, who's to say that the hardware inside isn't slightly different. Maybe our mods won't work on them regardless of what we do.

The other problems are that 1) Viewsonic isn't telling us and 2) we aren't keeping any metrics on this. We had this issue with the Pandigital Novel, but it was only two boards - eventually we could find ways to distinguish between the two (we called them "v1" and "v2" boards. I even opened them up and could tell that way. But, so far, we don't know if this is the case with the GTablet.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] P00r:
This 320 series will be interesting to watch :)

I do not think the order of the partition should have any impact, looking at other device they are all organised diferently, only their descriptor and file system seem to matter (YAFFS for the user accesible section) but it does show they played with it
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MJW:
Thanks for the comments and help

Thanks everyone for the comments and help. I checked Amazon and since I was on day 30, I did an online RMA and sent it back, so I didn't try the Adam idea. I did confirm it is not a model 320 though.

P00r - I did try the Setboot N command, pointing it at partition 10, since when I put the CWM image there it booted to it. NVFlash hung and I CTRL-C'd it after about 3 minutes.

When I swapped partition 6 & 7, I did swap the config info also, so the partition size and file system were correct per the cfg file normally.

The bad GTab and new replacement will cross in the mail, hopefully Gojimi's GB is out of experimental and into Beta by then :)
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimcpl:
The whole BCT is still a mystery (to me at least). I've posted about that, and if I recall, responded to official viewsonic suggesting they provide info on that plus partition table, etc. I have yet to find any info on what the BCT actually is, but have seen from posts on wetpaint that messing with it or changing it can bork your device.

That's one of the reasons I'm still stock. Don't want to get into a situation where nvflash is the only resort.

The other reason I haven't tried to flash using nvflash is the bad blocks I mentioned awhile ago, and not being able to nvflash/read all my partitions. Figured that if it can't read all partitions, it probably won't be able to write them either :).

Just ordered a 2nd Gtab from the woot deal, so I'm curious if that'll show bad blocks in dmesg, and if I'll be able to read all partitions w nvfash w the new one...

Jim
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MJW:

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] P00r:
Happy to hear you cane exchange it!

Can you try extracting all the partition, I got an error on my partition 11, and I think Jim is right about the bct also used to map bad block in the flash...

Sorry to say but don't use Task Killer. It won't help since it only lists what is residing in memory without any other useful info on what to kill.

The most you can do with it , is blindly killing them which doesn't help with the performance or might break something else. The best alternative is Active Apps or watchdog lite which monitors application's CPU usage.

A tip if you just start Android,

Try to use back button ( Close Application) rather than Home ( Put application on standby mode). If you forgot to close applications, try to use Active Apps / Samsung Task Manager to see if anything is left running and close them.

Hope this helps.
